BERLIN, April 3O.-The Budget Com
mittee, of the Reichstag, to-day adopt
ed in the form proposed by the Govern
ment the estimates for the construc-
ton of barracks and hospitals, also the
vote for strategetic railways, the vote
for increasing the efficiency of the
army, and the loan bill. When the
Reichstag is resumed on Thursday,
the committee will present a report
approving the whole budget proposal
of the Government, excepting the
artillery grant. There was some dis
cussion over the 1900, 600 marks de-
voted to rendering the army better
prepared to fight and suggestions were
marks for strategetic railways, but
ideas of economy were overruled by
the conviction that a collision with
France cannot long be postponed, for
the release of Schnaebles only modifies
the position. So far as justify
ing Prince Bismark's diplomatic
position in demanding cessation of
French official excitation to revolt in
Alsace-Lorraine, and the stoppage of
throughout Germany, official circles
consider that Germany has a good
claim to demand that France shall
cease from official intriguing in the Ger
man province. It is believed that
Bismarck is about to make urgent rep
reservations that having proved his
good will in the Schnaebles case
France must now stop the offences
against the International Law, by
orH0 0ioIo fn
fomenting treason in Alsace-Lorraine.
If the response of the French Govern
ment to these representations is not
satisfactory, the Schnaebles incident it
is thought will become the starting
point Of the greatest events of the
century.

PARIS. April 30.-M. Schnables, who
was released from prison yesterday by

pleased by the manner in which the

pronounce it as honorable settlement.
They praise the prudence and fairness.

| ity of the papers drew from the incl
dent lesson that in the future France
must redouble her vigilance in order
to avoid surprises Of the kind caused
by the arrest of SchnaebleS. According
to the Republique Francois, all French
projects have been instructed to pre-
vent people in their respective districts
from using the occasion OF NJ. Schnae-
bIes' liberation for making anti-Ger-
man demonstrations. NJ. Schnaebles
reached Paris this afternoon and al
once called on Premier Gobelet and had
an interview with him, in which he
